Re: best 6v coil
I will suggest Bosch, blue coil.
I don't have a part number. Find out if it's internal or external resister. I think it's internal... Karl |

Re: best 6v coil
Mallory used to sell a round-bottomed coil that actually said "The BEST coil I ever made, M. Mallory" right on it. I have one with the matching dual point distributor on my hot rod engine, and can't dispute his claim.
The Bosch is also a good choice and probably a little easier to find. |

Re: best 6v coil
Here’s a picture of one of the coils that Tubman speaks of. I’ve never tested it, but I saved it cause it looks cool too.

Re: best 6v coil
The best coil to use is a stock coil rebuilt by Skip Haney in Florida.

Re: best 6v coil
Does Skip rebuild "Can" type coils?
The tried and true NAPA/Echlin IC7 is a good coil if they haven't changed the way they made them for umteen years. It's hard to say now that Standard Motor Parts has taken over. The IC10 is also a 1.5 Ohm coil. Don't let voltage fool you on a can type coil. The can types are all about the internal resistance of the primary side. The 1.5 ohm coil is fine when run on 6 to 7-volts but will need a 1.3 to 1.5 ohm ballast resistor to function on 12 to 14-volts. The IC7 and IC10 ignition coils are both 1.5 ohm types as is the modern Bosch silver coil. Bosch states that it is a 2-ohm coil but I think they are rounding it up from 1.5-ohms or possible it is manufactured within that range. They are made in Brazil now days. Part number for the Bosch 6-volt is 0221124001 or 00016 Last edited by rotorwrench; 07-19-2021 at 02:01 PM. Reason: ADD P/N |
